How To Exclude Not Played Tracks From Global History

Post by inl_inc »

What setting setting should I use to exclude tracks that are initially queued up by the script but ultimately not played (due to a new program starting) from being:
1. Saved into the Global History
2. Being removed from the Playlist window (not as important).

Attached is an example, showing New Order-True Faith being queued to start at 19:00:15 and Dead Or Alive-You Spin Me Round being queued start at 19:05:50.

Then a new program starts playing a Top Of The Hour Imager at 19:00:15 (effectively skipping both of those tracks). I need to have these unplayed tracks to also be removed from Global History to allow them to be re-queued again. It would also be nice to have them removed from the playlist window as well.

Wow, I noticed the same problem recently! I KNEW those tracks being skipped were still being counted, and thus never played!

Ohh yes, you are right.
I do actually remove all those 'unplayed' entries/tracks from the history when a new program is started in a new playlist window.
But in your case I assume you start the program as a TimeUpdateSync within the same playlist window...and yes, in that case it seems I have simply forgotten to remove them as well !
I'll fix that asap!

This should now be fixed in v3.0.14.3 !

I.e. a TimeUpdateSync which marks previous tracks as played (even if they never got played) are being removed from any history.
